Getting Started with New Students

In GuidedPath, the advisor creates the student account and initiates the registration process for the student.  Once the student receives their registration email, they can use the “Get Started” button to create a username and password. Advisors can begin working with students immediately - there is no need to wait for a student to complete the registration process before getting started!  Once the student registers, they will be able to log in themselves and work with their account.

Sample registration email:

The advisor can create three types of accounts:   advisors, students, or connections.  Connections are either family or other connections such as  coach, tutor, friend, teacher, consultant, etc.

Troubleshooting Tips

If your student is having trouble getting on GuidedPath, you will need to determine if they have completed the registration process and may just need help with a username or password, or if they have not made it through the registration process.
